It's a too many people crisis, not a housing crisis. There will never not be a too many people crisis. Once a house is there it is there forever. Capitalism requires a growing population otherwise it will collapse.

Just like how all famines are man made from the top so it's modern scarcity, and houses are not there forever, if they aren't kept up they rot very quickly. The top 1% produce 29% of all carbon emissions, the top 10%, 49%, the bottom billion, 1%. In biology we call this cancer. (2/3)

WT a F does the post above have anything to do with what we were talking about? The government could easily build enough houses, we did back in the 1950s for the troops returning home, & it WORKED! Vienna doesn't have a housing shortage because half of the housing is government owned & affordable.

jul 16, 2025, 11:54 am • 0 0 • view

No it's not. It's very simple. It's a supply/demand issue. If there are more people than housing, some are going to go without. It doesn't matter how much you build if the pop. outpaces housing. You have to have pop. control. To claim that it is a wealthy lie is disgusting.

youtu.be/tPxeAKxKzc4 The problem is not population rise, its GDP growth. We waste so much with the way our cities are designed as well as how the way jobs work and GDP is the only thing that matters.

We CAN give half or more of the planet back to nature if we can end the extraction capitalist cycle. 1B use very little resources while people at the top burn through them. Populations are currently shrinking due to better education, more autonomy for women and family planning.

agreed on capitalism. Again, there wouldn't be a housing crisis if there wasn't a too many people crisis. And there's the other species. All the problems in the world are human caused.
